WTF Is Going On?

[ugarte]

I think I just figured out that "Sus Member" is short for sustaining member, and not "sus" like the kids use it these days.  My initial misconception was fostered by the fact that Trotsky was the one I noticed it on first.

No, it's the other one. You'll probably figure it out eventually.

I'm lost, but then my son informs me that kids don't say "sus" any more.

As a "kid" I can assure you we do.

you are in law school. my kid would say you have unc* status

My recollection from before I retired, now almost 15 years ago, is that SUS are explosive underwater sound sources. They are used for studying the sea floor among other things. As I theoretic researcher, I never used them, which is good because I probably would have blown myself up even though they are small.

And my recollection is that SUS is a Japanese designation for "Steel - United States".  It's how they designate a standard ANSI grade steel.

As I sit here waiting for RPI to be devoured by BU at 5 PM in a game that doesn't count, I have been trying to figure out just what "SUS member" means. There are only 13 SUS members, and they range from Trotsky who has the most posts of anyone to kla52 who has only 6 posts and hasn't been active since 2017. Clearly it is something that requires an Ivy-League education to understand.

So you and 12 others including some who haven't been here for a decade or so are updating the software. That sounds like something which DJT would say.

"That's the joke."

I'd love to say we were early adopters, but I find it believable that my configuration is so god awful and obsolete that Age had to specifically note its inability to play well with real stacks.

It's not that we are updating the software.  It's that we are so hopeless he has to make allowances.

Just an FYI, my username includes an apostrophe, which is apparently an illegal character.  Fortunately, I just deleted the apostrophe and it let me log in.

thanks for figuring that out
